The bride steps into her wedding gown. Her mother and bridesmaids assist her with the final touches on her hair and veil. Today, the vast majority of brides invite their photographer to document the “getting ready” period. In fact, at Wedding Photographer Dallas, all our wedding photography packages include 1 hour before the ceremony just for these "preparation" photos.

Getting ready can be a significant task for the bride and her entourage, and an event in itself. It’s a time not only during which the women share their excitement and happiness, but also one in which they can smooth out any bumps in the road that may arise, from mending an ill-fitting wedding gown to soothing an overwhelmed bride.

Recently, wedding preparation photography has become common and a professional wedding photographer is present while the bride gets ready for the ceremony. Yet the combination of elation, anxiety, nostalgia and hope that accompany these activities create an ideal time for your wedding photojournalist to capture those timeless moments.

Fortunately, our Dallas Wedding Photographers are veterans in skillfully observing and documenting what exactly happens behind the dressing room doors—from the trials and tribulations, to the triumphs. Our experience makes them exceptionally aware of and sensitive towards the rituals and emotions of bridal party preparation, and well-prepared to capture wonderful images without getting in the way.

We photograph you and your bridesmaids getting ready and getting the final fittings on your bridal gown. We photograph your accessories -- hairpieces, earrings, necklace, details of your gown and veil, your shoes and so forth.

Thanks to the great wedding photojournalist backstage, everyone (including the groom, who may have been far from that scene) can have an idea as to what took place to bring her to that radiant moment!
